Jia Lu through the Red Chamber

Chapter 299 Sisters negotiate

Xue Baochai shook her head and said, "Mom, I am idle in the garden on weekdays, and I can't do much if I do one."

Aunt Xue caressed her beautiful hair and said, "Good boy, if your brother is half as sensible as you, I'll be worth it even if I die!"

Baochai covered her mouth and said, "Mom, what are you talking about to be discouraged? All right, what's wrong with brother? Mom just beats and scolds, so why bother talking about death?"

Then he asked, "But what did brother do something stupid again?"

Aunt Xue sighed, "Brother, you don't care how old you are anymore, you're nineteen, yesterday I told him about the girls from that family, and he pouted at me, saying that these girls have What's so good, it's not as good as the girl in the building, and it made me angry for a long time!"

Baochai tilted her head, she has always been reserved and prudent, her brother's marriage is not something that a girl who has not left the cabinet can talk about, besides, she is young and old, if her brother is 19 years old, then her own Isn't it bigger?

Although he knew that his mother was not talking about him, it still seemed like he had been stabbed in the heart.

Aunt Xue didn't hear her, and looked over, Xue Baochai's behavior may not be discernible in the eyes of others, she is a piece of flesh that fell from her body, how can Aunt Xue not see it.

Distressed, I can't wait to slap myself, look at what I just said, and secretly made up my mind, I have to discuss with my sister in the past, and make a decision on Bao girl's marriage!

"Look at my broken mouth, what are I talking about! Don't worry, I take your matter to heart, and I will always find you a good future!"

Xue Baochai blushed a little, and said, "Why do you need to tell me that, mother!"

"You and I, mother and daughter, what else can you say?" Aunt Xue patted her hand and said, looking at her shy peony posture, she thought to herself, a good girl like Baochai, if it wasn't because of her family background , Waiting for the prince and grandson to be unworthy.

In fact, she didn't want to hang herself on the tree of Baoyu, and she also inquired about other young princes, but they all disliked their Xue family as a merchant's house, and officials of some grades refused to make friends with it. I only want to produce some people who are bastards and offshoots.

Another Baochai is low-key, not very well-known outside, but Xue Pan's reputation is quite big, whoever is stupid with a lot of money, stupid bully, bullying men and women, etc., not only his own reputation is ruined, but he can't find him. Going to marry the daughter of a good family will even bring Baochai's reputation down.

Listening to the matchmaker's faltering, others said that his girl has such a big brother, so I'm afraid it's not easy to get along with him.Therefore, even if it is the second best thing, the people who do not choose to be officials are the heads of ordinary people's families, but everyone who is better shakes their heads, which makes Aunt Xue very angry!

Looking left and right, Baoyu is better. His father is from Shanxi Liangdao, the master of the government, and his mother is not only from the royal family, but also his own sister, and a sister who is a concubine. Talented, such a son-in-law is top-notch among the people Aunt Xue sees, no wonder, Aunt Xue doesn't want to part with him, so she insists on him and refuses to let go.

I couldn't stay any longer after thinking like this, so I said, "Baby girl, I'm going to your aunt's place right now, and I won't stay any longer. If you're tired, just sit at home for a while, and if you're bored, just go back to the garden." Talk to the sisters, "

Baochai agreed and watched Aunt Xue leave.

Before Aunt Xue entered the house, she saw Mrs. Wang coming up to welcome her, and said,

"Auntie is here, hurry up and have a seat!"

Seeing her enthusiasm, Aunt Xue relaxed a little, and said,

"What kind of relationship do we have, do we still need you to welcome us?"

Mrs. Wang said with a smile, "I'm just tired of those people, so I came out for a walk specially, since I picked you up, I also took it easy!"

Aunt Xue saw that Mrs. Wang's courtyard was indeed sitting, and many people were standing. They were well-dressed, and some looked familiar. They should be decent stewards in the house, and some didn't know them well. They were probably from other houses, so she said ,

"It seems that I came here at the wrong time!" Even though she was about to turn around and leave, she was grabbed by Mrs. Wang and went into the house, walking down the sidewalk,

"It's not that you came at the wrong time, it's clearly that they came at the wrong time."

He also ordered Zhou Rui's family, "Zhou Rui's family, you greet them for a while, and I will have a good chat with my aunt!"

Zhou Rui's family agreed, and called everyone to go to another room.

After Mrs. Wang and Aunt Xue sat down, Mrs. Wang complained, "I haven't seen you for a long time, if I don't invite you, maybe you won't come?"

My aunt hurriedly explained, "What's the matter, you're busy these days, we don't want to disturb you, I thought I'd come to see you after you're done!"

"It's all just fussing. Some people who haven't seen her for many years have come. If we don't see her, we might say that our family has a great career and look down on them. Such bitter words will only ruin the empress. He Baoyu's reputation is not as good as being tired and hard, seeing each of them, and sending them away!"

Aunt Xue asked, "Speaking of the empress, is it all right?"

Mrs. Wang said happily, "It's sure, and now the pregnancy is stable. I heard that in the palace, the emperor and the queen dowager are very fond of it. There is no need to greet each other every day. There are people who sit down when they go out." Immediately sighed again,

"I have given birth to two sons and one daughter in my life. Let alone Zhu Er, she was an unlucky person who left early, leaving only Lan Er with a eccentric heart. Anyway, his mother is with me, so I don't care. It's gone. The empress has been in the palace for more than ten years, and now she has finally survived, and now there is only Baoyu left!"

Hearing about Baoyu, my aunt's heart tightened. This is different from the past, the empress is pregnant, and Baoyu's status has improved a lot. I don't know if she will look down on their Baochai, so she cautiously probed,

"Baoyu's character and appearance can be counted, so you have to choose carefully?"

Mrs. Wang replied, "There are also many relatives from aristocratic families who are matchmakers, but they are either pushed by me or by the old lady. Sister, don't you make my heart cold by saying this?"

When Aunt Xue heard this, she knew that she hadn't changed her mind, so she smiled and said, "Where is my birth, it's just that you Baoyu is such a good child, our family may not be worthy of it!"

Mrs. Wang said softly, "Baby girl, I am more than satisfied with that child. You look at the little girls and girls in the yard, and there is someone who is comparable to your Bao girl. I can't wait to marry Bao girl immediately." It’s just hateful to come in…”

Halfway through the talk, Mrs. Wang was taboo about something, so she didn't say any more. Aunt Xue knew what she meant, but Mother Jia was the elder, and they were not like disobedient and unfilial people like the elders. It was impossible to bypass her by saying anything. go, and asked,

"Old lady, do you still value Miss Lin?"

The author resigned today, the first job in life, and I feel a little ups and downs, I'm sorry, just two changes.
